Divine Sanitary Providence Arguments for Circumcision

God said to Abraham, You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you.Genesis 17:11

Some assert that God didn’t reveal the true aim of circumcision in the past because humans were not grown up enough to comprehend His sanitary objectives. Those concealed evolutionists maintain that the recent discovery of microbes and hygiene finally enables us to penetrate God’s intentions and proves His providence. Logically, however, this view implies that circumcision is outdated because now we have hygiene. Irrespective of the causality of creation, hygiene invalidates the sanitary reasons for circumcision.

Why didn’t the circumcising gods reveal hygiene to mankind in ancient times in the first place? Obviously, they wanted people to discover hygiene by themselves. God’s sanitary wisdom argument introduces evolutionism in the religious doctrine and subverts faith. Were ancient people too unclean and foolish to comprehend hygiene or is the circumcising god an evolutionist?
